IF you can picture William Haines as a wolf in sheep’s clothing you will have some idea what the comedian will resemble at the Palace Theater next aturday in his latest laugh-getter, ‘A Tailor Made Man. In this char- acterization he embodies the spirit of the man who rises from poverty and obscurity to fame and financial suc- cess. He starts out as an innocent lit- tle pants presser, but ends up as a wolf of the commercial world. The picture is based on the play which had a long run at the Cohan and Harris Theater, New York, in 1917. Dorothy Jordan, the waterfront waif of “Min and Bill,” has the leading fem- inine role. Joseph Cawthorn, Marjorie Rambeau, Willlam Austin and Hedda Hopper have prominegs roles. On the Palace stage Chester Freder- icks holds forth in a revue titled “Let’s Go Collegiate.” ‘The Virtuous Husband” | Coming to the Rialto Saturday. G )NE of the season’s best come- dies, one moment raising the viewer’s eyebrows with its dialogue and the next pulling them down with an up- roariously fanny comic situation,” is the promise of “The Virtuous Husband” by the Rialto management Saturday. The story, based upon the Dorrance Davis stage bombshell, “Apron Strings,” concerns the very unusual antics of an idealistic young husband, whose mother’s letters of advice cause a highly amusing tuation. The you ife objects, to ut it mildly, and ti ensuing situa- iions are said easily to attain the heights of coruscated entertainment. Elliott Nugent portrays the young husband, Jen Arthur the young wife |and Betty Compson the worldly friend of the wife. They are supported by J. C. Nugent, Allison Skipworth, Tully Marshall, “Sleep-'n’-Eat” and Eva Mc- Kenzie. The picture was directed by Vin Moore, who directed “The Cohens and Kellys in Africa.” Otto F. Beck at the console of the Wurlit selected short subjects will complete the program. R-K-O Keith's Frida “Bachelor Apartment.
